ESP-WROOM-32 Esp-prog not working

Your log files indicate that the communication between the PC and the ESP-Prog works without issue. Your problem is between the ESP-Prog and the ESP32 board.

  • Check all connections for continuity (incl. GND), if possible up to the pads of the ESP32 module on the development board
  • Ensure that you haven’t swapped any connections
  • Lower the debug speed

I’m assuming you have uploaded a simple blink sketch via USB first – just to be on the safe side.

So I had done what you have said mutiple times, and I don’t know why but it started working this time…
I’ll reiterate the connections here for anyone finding this post later :

  • TMS to 14
  • TDI to 12
  • TCK to 13
  • TDO to 15
  • GND to GND
  • Power both boards independently via USB

Check continuity from pad to pad from the esp-prog to the esp32 module
Try with shorter cables
Try lowering debug speed using debug_speed = 500
Ensure you have used zadig
Try deleting C:/users/you/.platformio
Try installing device drivers via windows device manager
Try disabling drivers signature
Try restarting vscode ?
Try disabling everything else in windows (Steam, Epic…)
